FrSky XM Plus Mini Receiver up to 16CH 1.6g Full Range fit for Micro Drone XM

I have now bought 4 of these receivers. They are really great little receivers that use Sbus and only need to connect 3-4 wires to get it to work with your flight controller. I've used these on my drone builds and they are easy to install and setup. Although I have not even tried to update the firmware on any of mine but they still work perfectly out of the box. Only gripe I have is the RSSI pad is super tiny and can sometimes be a pain to get a wire soldered onto it but other than that this is a really great little receiver especially if your trying to save space in your quad!

Has very good range. I can’t figure out of to get rssi output to my Radio Master Tx16s, but the recover works very good.

Receiver packs great function in a Very small package. I love the size and simplicity of this receiver, However, I wish it had telemetry function. Overall I am very satisfied with this receiver. Seller was prompt with their shipping and I had no issues to be resolved.

So, at the end of the day I was intending to use this receiver to bind to some old 3rd party transmitters that I had. Installation was really easy with the pads clearly marked, and it is brilliantly light. However, it would not work with them. Pretty much the current firmware updates have effectively sealed off cross-platforming and that "old gen FrSky protocoled products will not cooperate. Instead, I had to settle on a 3rd party D8 receiver. In short, if you have a transmitter that is current with the firmware updates, It seems it will work. However, for old gen, this is not the best approach

Reliable

*****BUYERS BEWARE!**** This RX absolutely will not Bind and is a PAIN to hassle with. I have tried to update to all firmwares, still wont bind. I have a standard Frsky qx7 transmitter, so there is no excuses for this. I am on day 8 and probably 48 hours worth of work into this RX trying to fiddle with it to get it to bind. Before you buy, just buy from either the official website or search another receiver, save yourself from wasted time and money. ***UPDATE*** In order for this RX to work, you MUST download the old version of software from the FrSky website, which you can find by going to the Firmware D16 section and scrolling down and finding the word “Download”, click on that. It then gives you a old version of XM+ software from 2017, called “XM+170313”, then flash extenal device from remote with the “FCC” version of software. Then, and only then, will this reciever bind to your controller because these are from 2016. OR SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSLE AND BUY FROM THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE ON FRSKY!!!!!!!!!!!

All of my drones have the XM+ Receivers. They are top-notch receivers and give you long range capabilities i bought this one as a backup because they can be difficult to find so you won't be dissatisfied by spending an extra $15.00.These receivers are very reliable.

I love the range, the price, the size and the weight. I also love how well it performs and has never have me a fail safe even with only one antenna. What I hate are the antennae as well as the antennae connectors. I have 3 of these receivers and none have both plugs remaining forcing me to use ok mul l one antenna. I get as much range as I need but I'd still live to have the reassurance of diversity. I also dislike not having telemetry without having to flash firmware onto the PCB using a PC that I don't have. Third the plastic bubble for the bind button always comes off. It hasn't caused any problems for me just annoys me that the receivers I'm using aren't as they should be with telemetry. 2 antennas, a bind button and an anti-crash sensor. I'll manage though. All in all the XM+ is a great FrSky receiver for $13. I would recommend it for any FrSky SBUS application where size and budget are considerations. I'm ordering another today. I'm content with its faults just wish I didn't have to be.

NICE piece!!!

Good quality mini size Rx compatible with Taranis Tx
